FDA grants Fast Track Designation for Sapanisertib in NRF2-mutated Squamous Lung Cancer
“While there have been significant advances in targeted treatments for lung cancer, little progress has been made specifically for patients with squamous lung cancer. In addition, we know that patients with lung cancers that harbor mutations in the NRF2/KEAP1 pathway typically have poorer outcomes than those whose tumors do not have these mutations,” said Susan Molineaux, chief executive officer of Calithera. “This Fast Track designation allows for a variety of benefits, including the possibility of priority review of sapanisertib as we seek to provide a first-in-class treatment option that may help address the major unmet need in this patient population.”

“We are pleased to evaluate the clinical combination of IDE892 with RG6505 in MTAP-deleted RAS-mutant PDAC,” said Yujiro S. Hata, President and Chief Executive Officer, IDEAYA Biosciences. “This collaboration aligns with our broader clinical strategy to evaluate rational combinations with assets in our MTAP-deletion portfolio, and there remains especially high
“In the first reported data from the clinical combinations of our PRMT5 inhibitor vopimetostat and RAS(ON) inhibitors, we saw extremely encouraging early results, with 92% of patients with PDAC in the vopimetostat plus daraxonrasib arm achieving an objective response, supporting the preclinical data showing synergistic activity of PRMT5 + RAS
“Non-small cell lung cancer is the most prevalent lung disease with more than 8,000 patients in the U.S. diagnosed each year with KRAS G12D-mutations. Receiving Fast Track designation for VS-7375 reinforces both the significant unmet need and the potential of VS-7375 to improve outcomes for patients with KRAS G12D-mutated lung
“KRAS has notoriously been considered an undruggable target and patients with KRAS-driven cancers continue to face limited treatment options with survival measured in months, not years,” said John Reed, M.D., Ph.D., Executive Vice President, Innovative Medicine, Research & Development, Johnson & Johnson. “We believe the proprietary Firelink™ platform will overcome
